Bushmills man attacked by gang in home
Detectives in Co Antrim are appealing for information after a 56-year-old man was attacked at his home in Bushmills last night.
Three masked people entered the house in Burnbrae at around 10pm and hit him with bats as he watched television with his wife.
The victim suffered bruising and puncture wounds to his head, body, arms and legs while his wife was left shocked and shaken, but otherwise unharmed.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police in Ballymoney on 028 9065 0222.
Elsewhere, a 58-year-old man has escaped injury after an arson attack in Co Down.
Flammable liquid was thrown through the window of the man’s home at Martin Green in Shrigley, outside Killyleagh, shortly before midnight on Wednesday causing smoke damage to the living room after the curtains caught fire.
The Fire Brigade was immediately dispatched to the scene after neighbours alerted emergency services to the blaze.
Police have appealed for information following reports that two masked men were seen running away from the area around 30 minutes before the attack took place.
